It's just not something I expect out of Nintendo is all.

Yeah, they tried to allay those fears by saying they will still focus on providing the kind of the game out of the box that people expect from them.

Given how long Nintendo games maintain their full price and Nintendo's reluctance to compete with retailers (and what we've seen with ridiculous pricing of retail games on XBL/PSN), I'm rather interested to see what the digital copies of their games will go for.

A somewhat more insane interpretation of that line would be that digital copies of games could be resold to other users, with Nintendo taking a slice of the transaction.

But that... would be crazy.

Haha, that was actually my first reading of it due to the weird phrasing and wishful thinking. (Who was it that was rumored to be considering this? Steam or PSN, I think.) Then I realized how crazy that would be and saw the context in which they said it.
